Oops! Scott Walker didn't endorse Leah Vukmir but for a short time it sure looked that way

For a short time Friday, a digital ad popped up on Facebook that appeared to show Gov. Scott Walker endorsing Leah Vukmir for U.S. Senate. The Vukmir campaign said the ad was a result of miscommunication and was taken down.(Photo: Screenshot from Vukmir digital ad)

But she also indicated the endorsement was intensely personal. Without mentioning Nicholson's name, she said that Nicholson refused to shake her son's hand when they were together at an event.

According to a recording of the event, first reported by WITI-TV (Channel 6) and made available to the Journal Sentinel, Tonette Walker said: "I was like, really? I mean, really, seriously? Cuz, to me, I don't want someone in politics — and someone who's going to represent me and the state of Wisconsin in politics — if he doesn't have the common decency to extend his hand."

Nicholson's campaign told the TV station that the candidate "is running a respectful primary focused on the issues that matter," and "knew nothing about the interaction" that was referenced.
